Introduction
Whole-body vibration (WBV) refers to vibration that is transmitted through supporting surfaces to the human body. Many occupational groups, such as operators of heavy machinery, are exposed to WBV during their daily working routines. Long-term WBV exposure is associated with health symptoms, such as low back pain [1]. WBV also causes discomfort and disturbs task performance. The prevention of health risks has been taken into account in the European Parliament directive 2002/44/EC [2]. The amount of vibration, expressed as the frequency weighted root mean square (RMS) value of acceleration, should not exceed certain limits during any 8-hour working day. The measurement methods are defined in the ISO 2631-1 standard [3]. According to the standard, vibration shall be measured at the human-seat interface using a triaxial accelerometer mounted in a semi-rigid disc.
